Chapter 29 - Opening boxes

A few days later.

Looking at the desktop littered with a bunch of papers and documents was not the most pleasant sight. Sitting at the table, Victor carefully looked at the documents in his hands. He was currently in a watch factory in his office.

Rubbing his temples, he put down a pile of papers and looked at the ceiling thinking about how to finish his business faster and return to his home. But even before he could sink into his daydreams, he was distracted by a knock on the door

Soon a man with gray hair came in, clearly a sign that he was already quite old. He looked at his boss and couldn't help but sigh, then he walked over and put another stack of papers on the table, which caused the veins on Victor's forehead to swell.

- "Jack, you said that there would be no more fucking papers for today.." - Victor said in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, Victor, but this is important. This is a contract for delivery to London and Nottingham.. We will also need to meet with the suppliers of materials tonight.." Jack said, feeling awkward after his boss's words.

Victor decided to replace the previous director with Jack, because he thought that he was doing a good job. In the past, Jack was a deputy director, but the most important thing is that this was the only one who did his job properly at this factory while sitting in a high position.

But this did not save him from the papers that he needs to sign himself.

- "You can go.." - waving his hand, Victor again stared at the ceiling.

It's been a week since he talked to the Shelby brothers. During all this time, he never met them again. Although he never saw them again, they left a letter under the door with an invitation to the opening of the Garrison pub, which will take place in 2 weeks.

- "Go.. Or not to go.. " Victor said, looking at the letter in his hand, then he put it aside and activated the system.

___________________________

The war has raised his statistics to abnormal values. Strength, agility, intelligence, all this was almost at the maximum possible value that the human body can withstand.

But the most surprising thing was not that, but the amount of his HP, which reached almost 38 points. I think about how he got them, his hands shook for a moment, but then when he closed his eyes for a while, and then opened them again, his hands stopped shaking.

- 'Three white boxes and one orange one..' - after looking at these boxes that were displayed on his screen, he thought a little and decided to start with the white ones.

The boxes are divided into different colors: White - level 1, Green - level 2, Orange - level 3, Red - level 4 and finally Purple - level 5. There is also a black box, its level can be allocated X, since not only is it practically impossible to get it, but there is also a 100% probability of some ability from it.

The chance of a good item falling out depends on the level of the box. This means that the higher the level, the more chances to get something good.

[Ding!]

[You have opened 3 white boxes.]

Looking at how 3 boxes are opened at the same time, Victor did not react in any way. It's not the first time he opens it and knows that nothing good should be expected from them.

[Ding!]

[You got - 1,000 pounds]

[Ding!]

[You got a Kerambit Knife. Quality - ☆ ☆]

[Ding!]

[You got - 3.000 pounds]

When he saw the prizes that fell to him, Victor suddenly raised his eyebrows. He did not pay attention to the money that fell out to him and instead looked at the knife.

________________________________

[Item – Kerambit Knife]

[Rating - ☆ ☆]

[Kerambit is a knife with a curved blade and sharpening, usually from the inside. The knife is held with the main grip by threading the index or thumb (in one of the grip options — the middle) finger into the ring. The blade and the tip of the blade are oriented away from themselves.]

[The chance to leave severe bleeding is 10%]

________________________________

- "Not bad.." - said Victor, holding a knife in his hand, began to twist it on his finger: - "Did Lady luck smile at me?"

The chance of any item falling out, at least one thing from the white box, is negligible, but when he got a much better thing, he was very pleased with the result.

- "And now let's get down to the most delicious.."

[Ding!]

[You have opened the orange box.]

After the system's words, an orange box appeared on the blue screen in front of Victor's face, which slowly began to open.

[Ding]

[You got - A Loser Coin. Quality - ☆ ☆ ☆]

- "Did Lady luck turn her back on me at the last moment, and the forest in front of me?" Victor said and looked at the paper in his hands.

________________________________

[The Item is A Loser Coin]

[Rating - ☆ ☆ ☆]

[The bearer of this coin will get into trouble all day long. If he wears it for 24 hours, then death awaits him.]

[Number of uses - 3]

Victor, who read the information, immediately threw the coin aside. At that moment, he felt that his luck, which is in the red, with a coin in his hand, would become -10, which he clearly did not want.

But at the moment when he decided to get up and pick up the coin again to put it in the inventory, he accidentally touched a high stack of papers that fell to the floor.

- "Are you fucking kidding me?!" - roared Victor, since now all his papers were in a mess.

Sitting at his desk in his office, Jack, who was writing something in the forms, suddenly heard the cry of his boss, which caused his hand to twitch, spoiling the report form.
